Read the full game description
Dream Crush turns the format of a vintage dating show into a conversational party game about knowing your friends. Three Crush cards begin in the spotlight. Across five rounds, a new milestone asks whom you would trust with a particular date, decision, or life event, while fresh Secret cards reveal increasingly specific details about each candidate. Everyone secretly records both their own choice and predictions for the other players. The fun comes when answers are revealed and the table argues, defends, and revises its opinions about entirely fictional people. Correct predictions score points, but the social stories created along the way are the real engine. Because the candidates and secrets recombine every session, the same group can discover new favorites and new disagreements without learning a complicated rules system.
